This procurement is classified under the industrial machinery category, specifically targeting special-purpose machine tools. The procurement method is an EU open procedure, and it has recently concluded with an award published on 13th November 2020. The contract period commenced on 13th September 2020 and is set to conclude on 31st December 2020. The closing date for submissions was 27th August 2020. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial machinery, particularly those focused on additive manufacturing and aerospace applications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, especially those with capabilities in processing aerospace materials such as titanium and aluminium alloys. Firms that can demonstrate expertise in innovative manufacturing technologies and safety protocols will be well-positioned to compete and potentially secure lucrative contracts in a rapidly evolving sector. ## Notice 2625/490/MY/AMRC/20 Bulk Additive Manufacturing System The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Bulk Additive Manufacturing System on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, North West Group at Preston, Lancashire. Scope of Requirement The BAMS will be used to manufacture prototype components, specifically large aerospace structures with high buy to fly ratios. The system will also support research with our partners into the use of the technology in industry in order to accelerate the adoption of bulk additive manufacturing. This will include but is not limited to process control, post process integration and materials development. The BAMS must be capable of processing aerospace materials, mainly titanium and aluminium alloys in a safe environment. The material must be deposited by means of gantry axes motion arm with a concurrent wire feed and heat source melting the material at a pre-programmed toolpath. The system must also have localised gas shielding to prevent oxidisation of titanium alloys.
